Cientifica acquired a 24% stage in G Heat, a company that develops graphene-based infra-red heating units, which are are much more efficient than conventional heaters (up to 70% more so, according to G Heat).

To acquire the G Heat stake, Cientifica bought a private company called TEH Investment which owns the G Heat shares. TEH was owned by Tim Harper, Cientfica's founder and CEO and co-inventor of G Heat's infra-red technology. Cientifica acquired TEH in exchange for shares and plans to further invest £204,000 ($333,000 in G Heat via convertible unsecured load notes (this will increase their stake in G Heat to 45%).
